If you put it in a row, what's the real advantage over using a rating field?
Ratings are more limited in meaning. Static groups are what I'd use in BibDesk where I'd use color in another app, so I'm not sure there's a compelling reason to add a color field. You could even name your groups after colors if it helps :).
And coloring rows is not an option, because it interferes with selection marking and makes the text less (if not un-) readable, if not just because it's against general MacOSX UI design.
How is it against Mac OS X UI design? I use color labels in Finder and row colors in Mail pretty frequently, and find them both useful. Colors in Mail work great to mark the last commit message that's been added to release notes, for instance.
